101 in 1001 Days: The Midpoint Review

So it is Day 500 of the 1001 Days. Tomorrow dawns the midpoint of the exercise, and I'm... more or less on track (a little behind, technically).
So, halfway into the list, I'm reviewing and thinking to myself: are there items I'd like to change? Things that no longer seem that important to me? And of course the answer is yes.
But what to add instead? I'd like to keep things more or less of an even difficulty, rather than whittle down my list to easier things that won't challenge me. But I also don't know what I want to do, to be perfectly honest.
So here's a list of the items I have selected out as needing changing in bold, along with the reasons I'm reconsidering them. I'm taking suggestions. (Also, the full list is still available here.)
8. Write a song.
12. Start a band.
Lumped together because they're part of the same creative impetus. Unfortunately, unless Christoph's band needs a female vocalist, the number of people who want to be in bands that I know are few. :P Also my total lack of time...
13. Run a satisfying RPG.
The only reason I want to run RPGs is because I want to have the game I want to play in. Except I'm not playing in it. Overall a disappointment all around, especially since I'm not very good at it.
18. Invent a language.
Borne out of an overall "I wanna be a riter!" feeling, I think that really, I'm better off finding something that is more... me. Especially since urban fantasy doesn't usually require other languages.
22. Do 101 Snapshots.
I don't do enough of interest to make this worthwhile. :P
41. Watch The Secrets.
The top 100 list is already staggering enough, and also, I can watch many lesbian movies, why this one in particular? :P
71. Go scuba diving.
Still might be interested... but it seems unlikely to actually happen. (That said, there's a learn-to-scuba-dive place in BRAMPTON. WTF?)
94. Buy a house.
I want to... but I'm not sure how pipe-dream it is.
